TL;DR: A cytochrome b multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based strategy for blood meal source identification in bug foregut contents that discriminates human from animal blood, and has been tested in five Triatoma species from México.

TL;DR: This study modeled the ecological niches of nine sand fly species and projected niches to estimate potential distributions by using known occurrences, environmental coverages, and the algorithms GARP and Maxent to provide useful information of potential risk areas of leishmaniasis transmission in Mexico.

TL;DR: Using IUCN Red List species as biodiversity surrogates, supplemented with additional analyses based on ecoregional diversity, priority areas for conservation in Mesoamerica, Choco, and the Tropical Andes were identified using the methods of systematic conservation planning as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationships between four estimated land use/land cover change (LULC) parameters for 17 Mexican biosphere reserves (BRs) for 1993-2002 on a GIS platform, and ten socioeconomic factors obtained from census data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use point occurrence data and digitized environmental feature maps to predict potential and extant distributions of species in untransformed landscapes, as well as in those transformed by vegetation change (including deforestation), and propose conservation areas by combining nonvolant mammal distributional predictions as biodiversity surrogates with place prioritization procedures.
